  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

The location is typically regarded as a hub for the legal profession, given the proximity of the Royal Courts of Justice and Lincoln’s Inn Fields, but has a diverse occupier base including, tech, media, banking and professional firms. The area is also home to several internationally renowned educational institutions such as UCL, King’s College London, London School of Economics and the University of Arts, London. The surrounding area attracts a range of occupiers, visitors and tourists with the Dolphin Tavern being a named location on several Midtown walking tours. The appeal of the location is derived in part from the excellent transport links but also the diverse and exciting range of local amenities and attractions on offer, including The British Museum, Somerset House, the Hoxton Hotel, The Espresso Room and the Rosewood Hotel.

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

  • A Guide to Camden's Parks and Open Spaces
    A Guide to Camden’s Parks and Open Spaces Contents Kilburn, West Hampstead, Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill 2 Gospel Oak, Hampstead, Highgate and Kentish Town 7 Camden Town, Somers Town, Bloomsbury, Holborn and Fitzrovia 12 Useful contacts and how to get involved 21 Alphabetical list of parks, addresses, features and travel details 27 Index 32 1 Introduction Camden Council manages nearly 70 parks and open spaces. They range from small neighbourhood playgrounds to grand city squares, historic graveyards to allotments. These oases dotted throughout the Borough, complement the bigger and somewhat better known areas that the Council does not manage, such as Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Regents Park. In recent years Camden has spent a good deal of money improving its parks and open spaces. In addition, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, over £5 million has been spent on restoring five historic parks (Hampstead Cemetery, Russell Square, St George’s Gardens, St Pancras’ Gardens and Waterlow Park). We have increased the numbers of gardeners and attendants in parks – please let them know what you think of our service, you can identify them by their uniforms. In addition we have Parks Officers on duty every day of the year, backed up by a mobile security patrol. As well as managing public parks, the Parks and Open Spaces Service looks after the Borough’s trees, runs the allotment service and manages a number of large grounds maintenance contracts for other Council departments. We also lead on the Camden Biodiversity Action Plan. We would like you to think of this Guide as a welcoming invitation to Camden’s parks and open spaces.
